Jackpot in any of the trying to of these factored Mega Millions. Or power also this is about the time half a billion dollars when people don't usually played against or dignity of the lights. Our I'll grab a ticket maybe I'll grab the ticket for the office maybe elbow and a couple of my neighbors or something like that that. I'd that is this is what we call amateur hour in the in the powerball. Drawing games. So how can they do a new and they do in Chicago where they draw the the numbers were to go with a ping pong balls or is it more to it. They're a big deal would go with the policy you've got 12345. Is just six balls in total five from the regular balls and then and then one powerball number. It's two dollars a ticket you're odds are I just terrible they're just awful lot about back to sugarcoat it for you it's. One in 292. Million. And that is that is one reason why we've in this bank rolled over. Twenty times so much but it's created this way on purpose they want speed big jackpots. Because. Com that's when more people play but also if figure with these terrible and very long odds. Are more people can which of these smaller nurses ball in the end yeah exactly exactly help. You know you go ideally your two dollars down you may win fourteen don't expect or he might win out some other prides itself more valuable. And it would still be went right to the people.
